Why does IKEA no longer offer fabric by the metre?

Find out why IKEA stopped selling fabric by the metre and what has changed with the switch to pre-cut fabric lengths.

Change is part of IKEA. We continuously develop our range to help create a better everyday life for the many people.

Why switch to pre-cut fabric lengths?

By moving from fabric rolls to pre-cut fabric lengths:
  • customers save time on cutting
  • the purchasing process becomes easier
  • fabric waste is reduced and resources are used more efficiently
  • fabrics can be offered more easily online
Fabric by the metre was also not part of the range in every country. By moving towards a more consistent system, we can create greater clarity and availability.

Why was fabric by the metre discontinued in Austria?

Fabric by the metre was part of the IKEA range in Austria for many years. With the new fabric collection, we still want to inspire creative home furnishing – now with pre-cut fabric lengths in typical Swedish colours and designs.
